RIP Congressman Barney Frank, the legendary co-sponsor of the Dodd-Frank Act, which reigned in the financial industry after the 2007 crisis.
Your work helped millions and your legend lives on in all who fight for economic justice.
Thank you, Barney! #ProtectConsumers

People are offered medical credit cards in the dentist's chair under anesthesia. Crazy but true. Another great video from @MorePerfectUS
Powerful video from @MorePerfectUS. NCLC Senior Attorney April Kuehnhoff explains how medical credit cards and other specialized medical lending products harm consumers.

"What is happening at the CFPB now is devastating for working people. It is a boondoggle for the billionaires calling the shot in this administration. And it is nothing more than sheer corruption." - Seth Frotman, Former CFPB General Counsel

What an honor to meet with @RepMcGovern and hear his deep commitment to #ProtectConsumers. Thank you! And keep up the great work! #CAW2025
We’re so glad @RepMcGovern sat down with us to discuss issues important to ordinary folks in the Bay State. The #CFPB and its rules to reduce overdraft fees to $5, keep fraud out of #bigtech payment apps, and to keep medical debt off credit reports matter! #CAW2025 #HandsOffCFPB
Great to speak with @WhipKClark's office and hear such strong support for #CFPB and #ConsumerProtection. Thank you for your commitment to #ProtectConsumers #CAW2025

“The illegal actions to shut down the #CFPB halt work to safeguard your private information, protect you when hackers raid your bank account, and help you save your home when you are being unfairly rushed to #foreclosure." @lsaundersnclc #ProtectConsumers nclc.org/unlawful-shut-down-…

Now is the time to step up and defend the @CFPB. Call the folks you *actually elected* to step up (link below), sign the petition (link below), and tell this unelected, corrupt billionaire that you are tired of his nonsense.

Elon now bragging about destroying an $800 million/year agency that has returned $21 billion to consumers who've been screwed by banks, credit card companies, and payday lenders, and other scammers.
Get ready for the return of credit card late fees, overdraft penalties, and all kinds of new scams
The slow-rolling couple continues. #ProtectConsumers
